We weren't able to reproduce – or rather, we were able to verify it works. Created a link to a VBS file, used part of the path in a rule as you have it there and turned on "Keep rules applied", and it moved it as expected. Might you be able to share that link file?

I'm sorry but explicitly no, a CLI for restoring saved backups is not available – what it does have is a system built specifically for handling these multi-monitor change scenarios. There's always a chance you don't have it enabled or there's some other issue. Please see the instructions from the previous post – the team is happy to look into this further to see why this isn't working for you. Multi-mon flakiness is a thing of a past for most everyone as the new one stores
Got it! Noted. Yes we’ve considered adding some pop up notices for Opus and this is certainly something to consider. Likewise for if we notice Opus is no longer present or option is turned off. Thanks again for the detail and glad we we got it going
Hey Lynn, just to better understand so we can make the program better for others — could you share more about what you meant by “I was assuming, incorrectly, that double-click rollup was default behavior and had not fully explored the options”? Thanks again for the report and glad we could figure it out, we appreciate any insight.
Peek works in a very specific way that "carves out" pieces of the desktop so that it can put only the Fence areas on top while hiding the rest. Whichever pieces are carved appear on top, and whatever pieces are not part of the carve out that’s on top are hidden by necessity. (As noted desktop is a single layer, cannot be split up.) We’re always working to think of ways to make things like this possible. What technically could be possibl

Thanks for the update. It SHOULD work in all conditions — so if you’d like this fixed for you without having to jump through this hoop, feel free follow the steps, and our team will be able to help you out. Just would need you to take snapshots before and after (and rename them appropriately) then upload the report. In the meantime, glad you’ve found a workaround.
Hi Norwicensis, we'd like to take a look. If you could follow the instructions in the post above, it should give our team the information to figure it out. Be sure to rename the one snapshot to "This is the layout the way I want it" etc etc, then do whatever causes it to break, and then take a snapshot again right after, renaming it to "broken". Upload this to us using the instructions above and we'd love to get it resolved. Thanks for your help

Hi newsch1, welcome and thank you! The team is happy to take a look, if you're having issues with layouts getting messed up. Would it be possible to follow the instructions in the post above? Be sure to take a snapshot, rename it to "This is the way I want it" etc etc, then do whatever causes it to break, take another snapshot / name it "broken" and then upload it to us. We'd love to figure out what's going on. Thanks for the help and again glad you've gotten good
Hi David, Correct, closest to Fences on Mac is the app "Desktop Groups" https://apps.apple.com/us/app/desktop-groups/id542912361?mt=12 which is quite old, but according to the App Store does still work. There are also apps like Unclutter, which provide a dock like functionality, and others similar. https://unclutterapp.com/ Sparkle exists,

Hi mr_vico, a couple steps to try and diagnose this. The first series includes creating a log file and submitting. Please do the following (1) Go to About, Troubleshooting, and click "Enable advanced logging". Reboot so that the setting can take effect. (2) After rebooting, modify your layout as desired. (3) Take a backup snapshot from the Layouts tab. (Ideally, click on the snapshot and rename it "Before disconnect") (4) Reproduce the issue, disconnecting

Hi June thanks for pointing this out. We’ve forwarded this on to the dev team as indeed the keyboard navigation scrolling appears to not be working properly, whereas it had in the past. We’ll take a look and be back to you with more. Thank you for the helpful feedback
Hi, please also try clicking “do not preserve” option and then switching back to “store on per monitor basis”. This has helped some. If this doesn’t help we’re happy to work to diagnose more.

Hi Mr Vico, Ok great. Well in good news, while CLI for this is not supported, the program does have ability in v6 that is built specifically to handle this situation gracefully. You may need to check your settings to ensure it's enabled. Head to the layout tab, and ensure "Store my layout on a per-monitor-config basis" is checked. If it already is, switch it to "Don't preserve my desktop layout" and then back to "Store on a per-monitor-config basis", and try again. You'll have

Hi, which version are you using?
Correct. The feature was disabled by default as it led to a lot of confusion and accidental usages. I'm glad you were able to find it and enable.
Hi all, this is a bug – thanks for pointing out. You should be able to set the titlebar font & color independently for each group/tab, just as you can the background color. We've added this to the team's list to resolve and it should be resolved for a future update. Thank you!
Hi, working to sort this out. I’m reading “seeing popup at the end of my trial” So- That popup should only appear for Fences 5 users. If you’re using a free trial of Fences 5, then that trial is out of date, as Fences 6 has been available for about 9 months. Unfortunately the $20 offer is meant for upgrading users who already own Fences 5 (hence the popup showing in Fences 5.) So- to make use of the offer, you’ll need to be
Fences is a desktop icon organizer. The desktop is a surface that lives underneath all open windows. I’m wondering where the impression was made that it was something different.
> "folder portals renaming" So yes, so long as you're not navigated to a subfolder, you can rename it just like any other group – click its title, and you should get an edit box. Any changes you make will stick, including through navigation. But yes caps-only changes will get wiped, unless you rename the actual folder. >&
> indicate "newly placed" Great suggestion. Adjusted and thank you > hide sync-status indicators Good call & agree. We'll put this in our queue for a future version or update. > hide folder icon option Not the first request for this and in fact we've had the plumbing for this underway. Just a tap to complete. It won't be in this month's update, but you can expect it in the following update, and we'll have it in beta likely
Hi Rick, thanks for the thoughtful feedback. 1) Agreed dock-to-top makes a little less sense on tabbed groups, but, we do keep that behavior for consistency. We have a new option coming up this month to switch tabs on mouseover. We're considering adding an option for enabling this specifically for docked tab groups, so it comes up to whatever your mouse enters. Likewise, we're introducing options to "Require clicking headerbar to expand", which likewise makes it more accessibl
Hi Tim. The high CPU on mouseover is not a bug, it is the program drawing. (Or rather, is it the desktop drawing, triggered by the mouseover.) CPU use in small bursts in response to user input is normal activity for a software program There is animation that occurs on mouseover, and so when you mouse over and out redrawing occurs. The CPU expense will vary from machine to machine particularly depending how many icons you have o

Good to know! If you find out the offending shell extension, please let us know? Always helpful to look into it on their behalf, or add detection so that we can warn. Thanks again
Hi all, good news. We were able to reproduce this internally and have resolved for the next update, coming within the next 2 weeks. Thanks again for the report
